Aurora dancing over the clouds and the slave river. I shot this one two years ago, in 2009. I also found out a guy I knew (but did not know was out this night) was shooting in this same location, at the same time, in the same direction.
Here's his shot taken around the area, of the same event..I just found this out this week, after the two of us were helping each other back up the other's harddrives. We both stumbled upon a load of old work we had thought we'd lost. Here's his shot:

...just goes to show that even with the same gear and the same subject it's a lot about the photographer's vision that creates the photograph. . not all about the expensive gear! We were using the same camera and lens, I believe. I had the 5D mark II and the tokina 11-16 2.8 and was shooting upwards and above him, whereas he must've been shooting down.
